About Us

For more than 90 years Waterford Country School has worked to meet the special needs of children and families at risk. Our services and programs have evolved with the transitions that life and community present. Through it all, the mission and high standards of care have remained constant. Together with a highly dedicated and skilled staff, Board of Trustees and many friends in the community, we have developed an extensive array of programs and are committed to the spirit of doing “Whatever It Takes.” We work hard to ensure that each child entrusted to our care is given the opportunity to grow, learn, and develop at his or her own pace.

Our Mission

Waterford Country School is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to enrich the lives of children and strengthen families through specialized programs resources and community services.

Challenge Ropes Course

The WCS Challenge Ropes Course adopts the philosophy of Project Adventure, the pioneer and leader in challenging adventure education for youth and adults. Using elements of Low Ropes and High Ropes Courses, the goal is to increase participants’ self-esteem and promote a sense of unity and mutual support in group activities.

The Ropes Course offers a challenging opportunity for your body and mind. Businesses, schools and private groups are invited to participate in this team building experience. With trained facilitators present, guests are encouraged to put their skills to the test and work together to learn more about themselves and their peers. There is a fee for this program and advanced scheduling is required.
